Our life is what we make of it. That said, I am awful at making mine a better life, and so, I am guilty of it. So, when you will feel disappointed in me (or of my actions, or especially the lack of them), at least have solace that I warned you beforehand.

Very violent. One, because of the amounts of bright red blood that flew
in the air when people got shot (and were lots of people shot in there,
most of them numerous times, in every imaginable part of the body, even
the groins). But two, and this was the heavy stuff (I was not shocked
per se, but they got to me when I watched those certain scenes), it was
violent in the way slavery and black people are treated in the movie
(like disposable, to a certain degree, dumb inferior animals). Some may
say to themselves that it can't be that acurate (considering it was made
by Tarantino who is not the guy to go to when you think realistic) but
unfortunately I think in some parts of the US that was true and acurate.
On the other hand the word nigga, which is used a lot, didn't bother me
(maybe not being from the US "helped" me in that). I hear it all the
time in the mouth of rap gangsta bling-bling bad boys of today.

If you know Tarantino's other films you'll sure recognize this is his.
This time it borrows a lot from spaghetti westerns from the way is was
shot (that rapid zoom ins for example, or close up of the face), the
explosions, the very acurate shotings and the score. Also the opening
credits reminds you also of this type of westerns. I saw all Tarantino's
long features (even Death Proof and his two episodes in CSI). For now I
will say this is in my top 3 (along with Basterds and Reservoir), but I
don't know where in that top. I know that Tarantino is a remarkable
director but... he just doesn't get there to be a favourite of mine.

Dr. Shultz is my favourite (especially in the begining, where were the
laughing/funny parts, for me at least), Foxx is good but nothing
spectacular. And DiCaprio is meeean
Also remembering: Sam Jackson (you really can't believe someone like
him can exists, you may think he is playing a fool and a role but he
truly believes in the shit he believes), Don Johnson (nice to see him in
that role), beautiful Kerry Washington (with the strange, and funny to
me, Broomhilda von Shaft name), Franco Nero (as the other owner in the
mandingo fight), Jemas Remar (of Dexter fame), Walter Goggins (Shield,
Justified) and Jonah Hill (in a small funny part). I wonder where
would've JGL fit in this whole movie. Also, a known face to me, M.C.
Gainey (Bo Crowder in Justified and Tom Friendly, Linus' second in
command, from Lost). And also, I remember now to write this down, QT has
a cameo... not being the best actor in the world
